Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 1

"Countryside."

Iijima Taniun was sitting in the car, with his hands on his pillow, and his eyes seemed to be watching the scenery along the way outside the window.

"I'm going to see my grandfather soon."

The person who is driving is called Iijima Huan, who is Gu Yun's mother in this world.

Iijima Ring is a strong woman. After entering the society, relying on her own efforts, she worked hard to get a publishing house.

Although it is not comparable to those really powerful giants, but at the moment when the bubble burst, Iijima still held on to this family property, and even took this opportunity to soar in value.

So if you count it like this, then Gu Yun is actually a rich second generation in this life.

"Can grandpa know spells?"

The place Iijima Huan wants to send Gu Yun to is the home of her father, Gu Yun's grandfather and folk tale novelist Rei Iijima.

In Japan, the juniors call their grandfathers and maternal grandfathers "grandpa".

"It's just not doing business."

Iijima has an independent personality and insists on not getting married.

But she doesn't hate Gu Yun, on the contrary, she dotes on him very much.

In Japanese society, it is difficult for women to get ahead, so my mother had to work hard to create an image of a strong woman.

Over time, even in front of his own children, he became like this.

Sometimes, my mother was also very distressed, worrying that Gu Yun would hate her.

Fortunately, Gu Yun can understand her.

Gu Yun was an orphan in his previous life and had no parents, so he cherishes his relationship with Iijima Huan very much.

As a human being in two lives, Gu Yun can feel her concern from her mother's words, as well as her worry that she is not gentle enough to be a good mother. .

"You can't learn from him," my mother said, "I just let him solve your troubles, and when the matter is resolved, he will return to Tokyo immediately."

"Is the relationship between mother and grandpa not good?"

"Humph."

Mother is the second daughter of the Iijima family, but she always felt that her father didn't like her.

If it wasn't for solving Gu Yun's problems, my mother would not want to go back to this countryside, she is from Tokyo.

What happened to Gu Yun?
In fact, it's not a problem, it's just that Gu Yun awakened his golden finger.

Before Gu Yun traveled, he was playing a mobile game called Itchy Mouse.

And just as he collected all the illustrated books and was browsing the brand new shikigami picture scroll, his eyes suddenly went dark.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in the arms of a woman.

"Master, haven't you arrived yet?"

On the seat beside Gu Yun was a red and white creature that looked like a dog and a fox.

It is exactly the SSR shikigami in the mobile game Ticklemouse—Xiaobai, Bai Zangzhu.

"Not yet, Xiaobai."

Gu Yun stroked its head, felt the delicate and soft touch, and comforted: "Persist a little longer, it will be here soon."

Xiaobai is the first shikigami that automatically lights up when Gu Yun starts the picture scroll.

Gu Yun didn't know why Xiaobai was awakened.

Inquiring about its origin is also asking three questions.

Xiaobai called Gu Yun his master.

It's just that it has no memory of the past.

The only thing he knows is that he is Gu Yun's shikigami and must protect Gu Yun.

Originally, Gu Yun wanted to say that the world was safe, and Xiaobai might not need protection.

But soon, Gu Yun was slapped in the face.

After his eighth birthday, he found that his eyes seemed to have mutated, and he could see monsters and ghosts.

Awakened at the same time, there is also a picture scroll of a hundred ghosts.

There are some shadows depicted on the picture scroll, not as many as in the game, but there are quite a few.

At that moment, Gu Yun realized the problem.

There are demons and ghosts in this world, but ordinary people cannot see them.

Gu Yun initially blamed this incident on Shikigami Escroll, thinking that it gave him this ability.

But that night, Gu Yun was slapped in the face again.

"Can you take it back?"

Mother looked at Xiaobai from time to time, but she quickly looked away, not daring to look any further.

"The monster is in my car," the mother's voice trembled slightly: "It's really scary."

Iijima can see Xiaobai, and when he saw it for the first time, he rushed directly in front of Gu Yun, picked up the broom and was about to drive him away.

That nervous look of telling Gu Yun to run faster while waving the broom.

Gu Yun was both funny and moved.

"It's my shikigami, it won't hurt anyone."

"Ok."

Perhaps it was because of the thought of the previous incident that the image of Iijima Han's strict mother was a little bit broken, she said: "Really, that guy likes to cause trouble for me. This kind of weird ability has troubled me all my life, and now I'm still in trouble." to harm you."

"Can grandfather see monsters too?"

"It's all his fault!"

According to his mother, the Iijima family has had a relationship with monsters since their grandfather's generation.

Grandfather, several children of grandfather, including Iijima Ring, most of them have spiritual powers, and they can see inhuman things such as demons and ghosts.

However, this ability is of no use at all.

Just like you say to your classmates, "There are monsters", not only will the other party not take it seriously, but they will think you are a weird person and have a second-school illness.

This also caused Iijima to have few friends during school.

"Kai is because he inherited too much of that guy's blood. He disappeared a few years ago and has not been found until now."

The Iijima family had seven children, four sons and three daughters, the youngest son died young.

And the "kai" that Iijima ring said, the full name is Iijima Kai, she is the younger brother who has the best relationship with her, the third son of her grandfather, and Gu Yun's little uncle.

"You can still subdue Shikigami."

"How strong is this blood? Isn't it enough to see dirty things?"

Youkai and ghosts can be seen in Iijima Ring.

But she was terribly afraid of them and didn't want to be friends with them.

The physique of recruiting spirits has troubled Iijima Huan over the years.

Thinking of her own child having to live like that, she wished she could rush up to her father, hold up his father's collar and ask, "How long do you want to harm us!" '

All in all, Iijima has a poor relationship with her father.

She wouldn't even want to go back to that home if she could.

In this way, the two of them and a monster passed through a forest, and finally stopped in a courtyard covered with white stones.

This is the old house of the Iijima family. The house is large and has its own courtyard, but it is not covered by walls.

The cherry blossom trees outside the courtyard are in beautiful bloom.

"Is this my mother's hometown?"

Pink and white petals fell from the sky, Gu Yun rolled down the car window, and caught a piece of cherry blossom with his palm.

"Ah."

Iijima Ring responded softly, her eyes fell on the Iijima old house in front of her, with nostalgia and sentimentality in her eyes.

"Let's go."

Holding Gu Yun's hand, Iijima led him over.

In the corridor of the courtyard, an old man in gray haori was smiling as Gu Yun and Iijima came in.

The old man’s name is Rei Iijima, a ghost novelist under the pseudonym of Iijima Snail.

He is about 70 years old, with gray hair and a slightly fat face.

"ring."

Iijima Snail called her daughter, and then turned her attention to Gu Yun.

"Xiao Guyun, do you still remember grandpa?"

Iijima Snail smiled softly. He is a very kind old man with kind eyes.

Moreover, the old man treated Iijima Huan very kindly, without the sense of alienation that Gu Yun's mother said.

When Gu Yun was very young, he once saw the Iijima snail once.

"grandfather."

"Ah, Xiao Guyun, long time no see, do you want some candy?"

Iijima Snail took out the candy and kindly handed it to Gu Yun.

It was also at this time that he saw Xiao Bai in Gu Yun's arms.

"This little guy," Iijima Snail said, "is the Shikigami of Xiao Guyun that Huan called?"

"Father."

Iijima supported his forehead, and said distressedly: "Not only can Gu Yun see monsters, but now he even accepts monsters of unknown origin as shikigami."

It's no wonder that Iijima is eager, because her youngest brother, Iijima Kai, is still missing.

Kai Iijima, like Gu Yun, has extremely strong spiritual power and has the power to subdue shikigami.

Among all the descendants of Iijima Snail, he is the most similar to the old man.

But also because of the powerful spiritual power, Kai Iijima disappeared.

The relationship between Iijima Ring and his father has deteriorated, largely because of his younger brother.

She always thought that it was the spiritual curse of the Iijima family that killed her younger brother.

"Has it been possible to do this?"

Iijima Snail touched Gu Yun's head: "It's really amazing, Xiao Gu Yun."

"Aha?"

"Old man, tell me clearly!"

Iijima Huan grabbed his father's skirt: "Do you know how I live these days? I am worried all the time, afraid that something will run out and steal this child away!"

"Aah~~"

At this moment, Gu Yun saw an old woman walking out.

She covered her mouth, as if she was snickering: "It's been a long time since we saw each other, the relationship between Huan and Lian is still so good."

"Mother."

"Long time no see, Huan."

This mother-in-law is called Iijima Yaeko, who is the mother of Iijima Ring and Gu Yun's grandmother (grandmother).

"Xiao Guyun, did you have a good meal?"

The members of the Iijima family are very gentle and treat their family members with care.

"grandmother."

"Uh-huh."

Yaeko nodded, then bent down and asked, "What do you like to eat, grandma will make it for you."

"Meat."

"Gu Yun!"

Iijima Ring was a little dissatisfied that Gu Yun was so close with this family.

She just wanted her father to solve Gu Yun's problem, and then she took her child and slipped away.

But the Iijima family obviously won't let Iijima ring get what they want.

Gu Yun is the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Iijima family, and his surname is Iijima. With several uncles unwilling to leave the old man's ancestral business, Gu Yun can be said to be the only successor of the Iijima family.

However, Iijima has her own company.

Taking advantage of the economic crisis to step into the upper class, she has a thriving career and a promising future, and she doesn't care about the insignificant property of the Iijima family at all.

"What are you going to do, old man?"

Seeing Gu Yun disappearing at the entrance, Iijima looked at his father complainingly: "Do you want Gu Yun to be the second one?"

"ring."

Iijima Snail shook his head and said, "That kid is much better than Kai."

"what?"

Seeing that Iijima was puzzled, Iijima Snail said in a deep voice, "The first time I saw that child, I felt his spiritual power."

"Gu Yun's situation is very special."

"Generally speaking, the awakening of spiritual power starts at an early age," Snail Iijima: "But Gu Yun awakened the ability to see ghosts when he was 8 years old."

Even though he woke up so late, in the perception of Iijima Snail, Gu Yun's spiritual power is extremely huge.

"It's such a small age, but it has such a huge spiritual power."

Without waiting for his daughter to nod, the old man said, "He is destined to walk on that road."

"Stay away, doesn't mean safe."

"Only with strong power," Iijima Snail said firmly, "Gu Yun can protect himself."

After these words, Iijima Ring was stunned.

She really did not expect that her father would give Gu Yun such a high evaluation.

"Give him to me."

Iijima Snail's expression is extremely serious: "At least until I die, I will never let any monster hurt my lovely grandson!"
